Montgomery County Council - Planned Parenthood CEO Testifies on Jan 25th

The Health and Human Services Committee of the Montgomery County Council received further testimony during the same session in which they offered their sorry excuse for an amended "gag" bill for the pregnancy centers.  One of those testifying was Dr. Laura Meyers, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan DC.  Naturally she said that women need care from licensed medical practitioners.  She didn't say it, but we can believe that she had in mind Planned Parenthood of Metro DC!  This abortion center loses hundreds of dollars for each woman whom the pregnancy centers can reach.

On December 12th, I touched a bit on the "care from licensed medical pratitioners" that one young girl received at that very same Planned Parenthood.  Today I was reminded of an incident that almost happened at the University of Maryland last April.  The student union was planning to show a xxx-rated porn movie there.  Planned Parenthood staff were slated to give a presentation prior to the movie, to advise them about contraception, condoms, etc, and perhaps their abortion "services".  In other words, they were positioning themselves to profit off sexual misconduct of college kids who were about to become heavily aroused.  Fortunately the debacle was cancelled after state legislators threatened to cut off massive amounts of funding.  Dr. Meyers said of her PP's planned participation, "The organization agreed because it would be a chance to reach a population it doesn’t normally have access to."  Substitute the word "market" for "population" and I think you have a pretty good idea of how Planned Parenthood operates.

Let me share some very current insight into the depraved greed of Planned Parenthood of Metro DC.  I sidewalk counsel in front of their Silver Spring facility.  Today a couple went in.  The young lady was in tears.  She clearly was being coerced into that abortion by her very arrogant and abusive male companion.  I highly doubt that the Planned Parenthood staff gave a rat's behind about her wishes.  All they wanted was the money from the man.  Well, they got their dough and the young lady will now spend a lifetime in pain and regret.

Clearly Planned Parenthood has a vested financial interest in seeing to it that the legitimate activities of prolife pregnancy centers are hobbled, for the more that happens, the more blood money will flow into Planned Parenthood's coffers.  By no stretch of the imagination are they disinterested and altruistic little do-gooders.  Thus any testimony that they offer on this sort of legislation is worthless.
